They're like other countries that go under the IMF or get invaded
They flipped allegiance to US from Russia, and one of the demands is to privatize Ukraine's major businesses. Saw the same with Bremer's 100 rules set by CPS in Iraq after invasion, Greece and Yugoslavia after they went under IMF, Tunisia after Arab Spring revolution, etc. The money they get from selling off state businesses will then go toward reconstruction.
When the US advisors were in Russia in the 90's, they proposed the same and prescribed shock therapy to unload state-owned businesses. Jeffrey Sachs of Harvard was the advisor. The goal was to break up the country and for foreign investors to pick up the oil and gas industry..
You see countries, such as Iran and Venezuela, that nationalized their oil industries are on the receiving end of economic sanctions. [Post edited by lchoro at 02/23/2022 1:50PM]
